Sora is right there...! !Bai is so sure.

Then--

Bai finally found out,

In a small box there are chess pieces engraved with numbers in large letters, one side is black and the other side is white.

[Game] finally reappeared before her eyes.

Finally, after a series of intelligence collations, the truth was restored.

This is probably—

The game of taking memory away, of being excluded from cognition—a game that is not over yet.

Rules Predict...

[… Divide memory… existence… into pawns… a game of plundering each other. 】

Plundering memory——! ?

This, such a rule, is it normal? !

After figuring out what was going on, everyone broke out in cold sweat.

And then the picture in front of people's eyes flashed,

There was a scene where Sora and Kurami talked about the rules of the game at the beginning.

Divide the chess pieces into thirty-two points, and mark all the numbers. The closer the number engraved on the chess pieces to 1, the more important it is.

If eaten, that [part] disappears.

Presumably a memory, a personality, or a physical body...

And then that man, just as people remember him, happily uttered frenzied and trembling words.

"... what would be lost by losing that pawn—isn't it exciting?"

No, this is simply scary...

Everyone was dumbfounded, and then they realized Sora's real purpose.

The winner gets everything back - the loser loses everything.

This is a game in which not only everything about yourself, but everything about your companions is also bet.

The companion who has lost his memory is also in the bet, and will automatically become the property of the winner.

however--

Even in this lunatic situation, Sora deliberately lost to Kurami's large chess pieces, and then gave up his memory.

In such a terrifying game, he deliberately lost a large chunk first!madman?

What the hell is he thinking?

And soon people reacted one after another.

Before the game started, Sora had established the rules...

Even if the game is over, you can choose to keep or not to keep the opponent's memory and personality robbed in the game.

That is to say-

He might have let Kurami see his memory on purpose.

Kurami, who originally played the game to find Sora's [backer supporter], after acquiring Sora's memory, will naturally understand the truth that the Sora brothers and sisters are visitors from another world.

It will also be clear that there is no one behind the siblings, and there has never been a cheating in the game with her.

Really rely on human wisdom to defeat magic props.

"Is it through the game, let the other party see their own memory with their own eyes, and gain trust?" Hermetos was already convinced by this amazing and bold idea.

He finally understood some of Sora's thoughts.

From the beginning, it was not for the pursuit of excitement and simple game victory.

It was so scorching and compelling that the other party and I had to risk everything for a 'memory exchange'.

Just to gain further trust...

In this way, after the game is over, the two people who understand each other can also become true companions?

High, it is too high!

But that has a premise...

Sora and Kurami could really carry on the game as expected.

The fear of losing memory, losing personality, and even the body will devour the player's will all the time...

And in the case that even the relevant memories are forgotten, it is too difficult to expect the partner to continue the game in his own position--that is too difficult!

The rule of the game is that after the two disappear, the selected partner can continue the game.

however--

Looking at how Bai forgot the game before, and almost collapsed because of Sora's disappearance, you can see how difficult this game is.

Whether the selected companions can remember that they are still in the [game] is a big problem.

even--

"Black and white... Well, although I finally found the pieces. Not only can I not see the board, but I don't even know which color of the pieces belong to my side... This game will not enter an endless loop!" Yuba worried.

however--

But Bai quickly figured out where and how to play chess. She decisively took out the number with "three" written on it, and held Bai's side up with her fingers.

Brother will choose black or white, there is no confusion at all.

The elder brother deliberately lost, and then played to let Shiro win, and the opponent who completely hit the elder brother's strategy was played.

After reading all this, I restored the appearance on the chessboard in my mind.

Even the process does not need to be clear, as long as you know the [result] and where to go.

Through the habits of the sky, I hate the sun, hate the empty space, and the habit of sitting side by side with Shiro.

Find the white in the empty approximate position, and you know the position of the chessboard.

Read it all, reverse it all!

In the end, it was like a hand of God—falling!When the crisp sound vibrates the ears of the three people.

In the trembling voice calling for his brother to come back,

The chessboard, which was unrecognizable just now, suddenly appeared, and the black chess pieces were dyed white.

At last—the memory of the lost day and a half came back to my mind.

Then, two more games were played, and Sora, Kurami, and elf girls also came back one after another.

Finally a...

But at this moment, Bai desperately held back the tears that filled his eyes, and understood everything.

The meaning of the three chess pieces left by the elder brother.

Three - the way to win the game.

Two—absolute trust in dialogue.

One - [...all of Bai...].

This is the true face of something more important than himself that constitutes Sora.

In exchange for sacrificing all of his own, the white piece finally won.

If it was a simple game of chess, Sora could have handed over the game to Shiro, who was proficient in calculations, and could easily win.

But in the case of deliberately losing memory, trying to win...

Seal off all the enemy's escape routes, and create a path for Bai's final victory...

Sora really took pains this time.

For this reason, he didn't even tell Bai his true intentions.

Only in this way can the opponent be successfully deceived.

Turns out they did succeed...

He looked at Sora who was already hugging Shiro and shivering, and opposite him was hugging the elf girl who lost consciousness and was scared to death.

Everyone was silent for quite a while.

This cruel stream-of-consciousness game was obviously just a game of chess, but seeing them all broke out in a cold sweat.

What kind of courage is needed to dare to play this kind of game.

Kong never thought about it, if Bai really couldn't remember him,

Then what kind of terrible loneliness and eternal silence and despair will he experience?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Up to this moment, everyone was still in a state of lingering fear——

Sora with a wry smile even said that he was ready to be scolded for nothing.

However, Bai didn't complain at all, she blamed herself and threw herself into Kong's arms tremblingly, her ruby-like beautiful eyes were moist on Lihua's rainy face.

Instead, he kept apologizing, didn't react earlier, and let his brother stay in that horrible place.

People looked at the siblings,

If we were ever a little jealous and envious that one of them could have such a powerful brother (sister).

So far only blessings are left...

"Ah... woo... The gods don't have the heart to tear them apart, right?" Claire couldn't help but murmured softly.

Afterwards, people watched Sora gradually recovering, preparing to deliver the final sentence to Kurami.

Amid the terrified cries and wailings of elf girls,
